"Big brother. Now although the commander's banner of our army has been attacked, the overall situation still has the upper hand, and the damage to the inscription battalion is not small. As long as our army stops and retreats from the war, Liu Mingchuan will never dare to fight back. Liu Xian's cavalry also became a disease of ringworm and would retreat without a fight.

In this way, we still won this battle. The army could go eastward, and even turn south after passing Runan.

But if the troops are dispatched to help, the inscription battalion will be encouraged by the army, and it will be desperately supported. Do your best in both corners, and it will become a decisive battle.

Win or lose!

Dare to ask the eldest brother, dare to ask you, can you be sure of winning the battle? ”

After Zhang Zongdao finished speaking, Zhang Zhuo, who was present with a fiery personality, was silent.

On one side is the 'safe and secure victory' and the troops are steadily advancing; on the other side, the victory or defeat is unknown, and the two sides are open in five. Once defeated, the newly revived Twist Army will be in danger of annihilation......

Zhang Zongyu was also silent. As a person who fights old battles, his sense of smell on the battlefield has always been sensitive, and the reason why he has to be reminded by Zhang Zongdao is just to respond to the old saying before: People die for money, birds die for food.

Because of these words, Liu Mingchuan waved the whole army to attack violently. The picture is to defeat the main force of the Twist Army in one fell swoop, establish a great achievement, and put the lost Admiral back on the top.

So he fell into the trap that Zhang Zongyu designed for him.

Because of these words, Zhang Zongyu was determined to mobilize the elite soldiers on the front line to come back. The picture is to stalemate Liu Xian, and defeat the main force of Liu Mingchuan's Huai army in one fell swoop, and achieve the second big victory that shocked the whole country after the ambush of Gaolouzhai.

So he led the whole army to embark on a decisive road of defeat if he was not victorious.

Zhang Zongyu is a decisive person, and when he calmed down instantly, he had a retreat in his heart.

Just looked at the rapidly approaching Liu Xian cavalry, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that Liu Xian, the dog thief, will not let us retreat and collect our troops!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the pro-army said: "King Liang, let me stay and break the queen." ”

"King Liang, let me stay and drag Liu Thief."

Many years of life and death brothers, and many people are relatives of the Zhang clan, and the generals of Zhang Zongyu's army have a very deep relationship, these Zhang Zongyu's henchmen and generals, everyone wants to stay and break the queen.

Zhang Zongyu was relieved in his heart, but his eyes looked directly at Zhang Zongdao and said, "You stay and break the queen." The tone was categorical.

Zhang Zongdao received the order awe-inspiringly, why did his eldest brother want to take the order by himself, he knew in his heart. Then he said loudly: "Big brother, rest assured, all brothers, I, Zhang Zongdao, have fought for this life, and everyone will retreat from the Chinese army safely." "Only in this way can the wave marks just now be completely brushed away.

"Zhang Ding will stay to help you, and the rear army will all be left to you, you must be careful."

Liu Xian is only 200 steps away from Zhang Zongyu's banner. On the battlefield of a 100,000-strong battle, the distance of 200 paces is simply too small to be smaller.

But at this time, Zhang Zongyu retreated. With his banner, he rushed all the way to the Twist Army Formation. Liu Xian immediately yelled anxiously: "Kill, kill—"

Zhang Zongdao and Zhang Ding on the other side, with the last 200 horses of Zhang Zongyu's army, Zhang Zongdao raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, our big victory in this battle is just around the corner, Qinggou wants to sneak attack our army's rear team, can they succeed?" Fight with them! ”

Zhang Ding stood up directly on horseback, waved a big flag with his left hand, and shouted loudly: "The head has fallen off the bowl and the big scar, I'm afraid of a ball, brothers, fight with Qinggou!" ”

After that, as soon as his legs were loosened, the man sat firmly on the horse, rode his horse, and rushed out with a wild scream, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and Zhang Zongdao led a team of two hundred horses to follow.

The rear team of the Twist Army has collapsed, but seeing that the heavy general of the Liang Wangzhong Army personally killed the enemy, and Zhang Zongdao, a brother of the King of Liang, was there, the Twist Army was greatly encouraged, not only the defeated cavalry, but even the many infantry that were originally scattered were also greatly inspired, shouting and screaming towards the Liu Xian army that had been split.

At this time, the horn sounded again and again in the Twist Army, and the crumbling Twist Army Horse Infantry of the Killing Inscription Battalion slowly gathered the front of the troops. But Zhang Zongyu has already summoned Ren Huabang.

Ren Huabang saw that he could break through the Huai army's defense line, but he suddenly received the warning signal from behind him, although he was very unwilling, but he had been with Zhang Zongyu for many years.

Liu Mingchuan felt the weakening of the pressure for the first time, and the team had a chance to breathe, and his inner gratitude to Liu Xian could only be expressed with 'sneering'. But as Zhang Zongdao said, Liu Mingchuan did not take the opportunity to fight back.

With a hint of mixed feelings of unwillingness and joy, Liu Xian led the cavalry battalion to turn around and leave. failed to turn defeat into victory, traumatized the army, and Liu Xian was very unwilling. However, the Twist Army won a major victory in this battle, the main force was intact, and the threat and trouble to the Qing court were greater, but he was happy to see it.

Night falls. Liu Ming returned to the county seat of Runan, and Liu Xiantun soldiers Hongji Bridge.

During the daytime charge and the gallop of seventy or eighty miles, Liu Xian's cavalry battalion lost more than 100 men and horses, which distressed him to death.

But calculating the loss of Liu Mingchuan's inscription battalion, Liu Xian's loss is too small.

Liu Mingchuan worked hard to raise and train the five battalions of horses, after this battle only left less than 400 horsemen, with the army artillery battalion all lost, Bi Huaqing did not lose his life, but the gunners with the army only gathered back more than 50 people. The others were either cut down or captured by the Twisters.

The loss of this artillery cavalry alone made Liu Mingchuan and other high-level leaders of the inscription battalion feel painful. Not to mention the sixteenth battalion of infantry that was bloodied with sabers and corpses all over the place when Ren Huabang was killed.

Liu Mingchuan, who turned back to Runan City, just asked for a rough count of each battalion, and there were more than 1,000 fewer musketeers, plus the losses of the old infantry, the inscription battalion died far more than 2,000 in this battle, approaching the 3,000 mark.

The loss of two people's manpower is painful for any army. It is no wonder that the inscription battalion on the battlefield, the front is crumbling, and the whole army almost collapses.

Therefore, in this battle, the inscription battalion that lost 20% of its military strength and the twisted army that damaged more infantry cavalry were not victors. In terms of the overall situation of history, Liu Xian, who had no more than 300 casualties on foot cavalry, should laugh out loud.

"Virtuous brother, I have offended many days ago for my brother, and I hope for Haihan." Liu Mingchuan is now grateful to Liu Xian, because of the little pimple before, he can't wait to open his chest and take out his heart to show Liu Xian.

Such a person with an arrogant personality and even a little stubborn can say such things in front of so many generals of the two armies. How deep Liu Mingchuan's gratitude is in his heart can be seen.

If Liu Mingchuan in Runan was defeated again, that person might really fall into the valley and never climb up again. Not to mention how many people are going to die in his camp.

The grace of salvation on the battlefield, it can be said that as long as it is not a white-eyed wolf or an ungrateful dog, it is the most unperishable kindness in the world.

"In the future, if you have the help of me Liu Xingsan, just one word, you will follow!"

……

Liu Xian never expected to have much friendship with Liu Mingchuan, and now he has been crossed off his 'hostile' list......

Life is unpredictable.
